Switzerland vs. Germany picks and predictions
Prediction
Germany 3, Switzerland 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET GERMANY (-155).
Germany is the host country. There is extra motivation, and that’s certainly shown in its first few Games, outscoring opponents 7-1. The 3rd-best side in the group via FIFA ranking is Scotland, and Germany dominated Scotland in its 2nd match. Germany also beat France and Netherlands in the Games leading up to the tournament.
They are clicking on all levels while Switzerland has an aging midfield and doesn’t have the pace or technical talent to keep up. Since World Cup 2022, Switzerland has played Portugal, Brazil and Denmark, losing the first 2 by a combined 7-1 score and then drawing Denmark. The Swiss are going to struggle against a rising Germany side.
TAKE GERMANY (-155).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-122).
Switzerland has tallied 4 goals through 2 Games in Euro while Germany has scored 7. Both teams have had strong offensive showings. Switzerland has allowed 2 goals to far lesser caliber attacks.
Germany has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 5 games, scoring 2 or more in 4 of 5 while allowing at least 1 goal in 3 of them. Given the offensive firepower, BACK OVER 2.5 (-122).
